relhak said: Fun fact: The names Frieren, Himmel, Stark, Fern, Eisen, Heitel, and Flamme are words taken from the Scandi and Germanic languages (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and German) which represents their character's traits. E.g., Fri(eren) is loosely translated as "The Free" or "The Frozen" in German, Himmel is "The Sky", Stark (or Stærk) is "The Strong", Flamme is "The Flame", Eisen is "The Iron", Heitel is "The Cheerful", and Fern can be translated as "The Detached" or Remote. Source: I speak all of the above languages. Wow so all of their names actually encompass their personalities too! Good catch. |

| Interesting. Thanks. |
Nice. I didn't know that existed. However, I would disagree with the translation of Frieren as I dont feel that it properly describes her character. I would use Free or Frozen instead, as she can/could live for decades without realizing time passed by. Similarly, her looks doesn't change after hundreds of years giving her the impression that she has been frozen in time. Lastly, she's free and travels where she wants, and does what she wants on a whim, unburdened by personal relationships. For Himmel, I would say that "Sky" is better, simply because of his Sky blue hair. Moreover, Sky goes nicely with Frieren's "Free" interpretation. How the Free longs for the Sky now after it is gone. Heitel could be translated as "Merry", but I've always had a negative connotation of that word, i.e., as Merry would imply mindless joy. I feel "Cheerful" is a more accurate and better translation and description of his character. |
